Krug Grande Cuvée 169ème Édition Giftbox

Presented in a giftbox, Krug Grande Cuvée 169ème Édition is a richly layered Champagne that brings together 146 wines from 11 different years, from 2000 to 2013. Created in the spirit of Joseph Krug’s vision, it offers a distinctive expression of Champagne that looks beyond the character of a single vintage.

Tasting Notes
A luminous golden hue and fine, persistent bubbles lead into an expressive bouquet of flowers, ripe fruit and citrus, with notes of almond, marzipan, nougat and brioche. The palate is full and silky, balancing freshness and fruit with a subtle spice, before a long, refined finish with hints of hazelnut, honey and citrus.

Production
This edition blends 146 wines from 11 vintages, with the youngest from 2013 and the oldest from 2000, bringing together Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier. The blend is matured for around seven years in Krug’s cellars, allowing its different components to develop into a harmonious, complex Champagne. Specific vineyard and harvesting details for this edition are not provided.

Food & Serving
Enjoy alongside roast poultry, lobster, scallops or aged hard cheeses; its layered character also suits a meal from aperitif through to the main course. Serve well chilled, around 8–10°C. A short rest in the glass can reveal more of its aromas; decanting is not essential, but a gentle pour into a carafe can be considered if you prefer a softer mousse.

Producer
Founded in 1843 by Joseph Krug, Champagne Krug is known for its commitment to crafting expressive Champagne beyond the limits of a single vintage. Grande Cuvée was conceived to realise Joseph Krug’s ambition of making the finest Champagne possible each year, regardless of seasonal variation. Its numbered editions mark each recreation of the cuvée.
